Meet the team.

Brett is a father of three who, in his (limited!) spare time, enjoys comic books, hip hop, basketball, and mountain biking. He attended California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, obtaining a B.A. in Studio Art & Graphic Design. While he specializes in retro game design and 2D animation, he is extensively familiar with WebGL, HTML5 Canvas, JavaScript, Blender, Game Maker Studio 2, PlayCanvas, and even Unity. Prior to his career at Game-U, he worked as a CTE Game Design Instructor, a software developer/UI designer for various tech start-ups and open-source software, a character designer and illustrator for several indie team projects, and a K-12 Game Jam Facilitator. Brett also founded the Itemcloud organization, dedicated to open source tools for students and educators alike – sponsoring projects like the Dummy.JS game engine (not yet released) and the Nuken Education text editor. That same passion for sharing his knowledge and helping others learn and tell their stories is why Brett joined Game-U!
